Description
In the cool hush of an early Alberta morning, a bull elk stands framed by the muted golds of autumn, his breath briefly visible in the cold air. For a moment, everything feels suspended—the season, the silence, the tension of the rut—as if the landscape itself is waiting for the next bugle to break the stillness.
